[DOC] What is the current state of this library?

[TorstenRobitzki]

Following the link from the aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C repository, I got the information here, that the library will be deprecated in 2024, which basically signals to me, that basing a new project on this library is probably not a good idea.

• Why is there is still the link to this library from the aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C library, if this library will be deprecated soon?
• It looks like there is active development at this library, but there was no new version released in the last 2 years?

Assumed, I want to have a take on the "AWS IoT Over-the-air Update" feature, how would I start a new development?

Did you take a look at the FreeRTOS OTA page? There you can find the OTA reference demo using OTA Agent Orchestrator: Lab-Project-ota-example-for-AWS-IoT-Core

Why is there is still the link to this library from the aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C library, if this library will be deprecated soon?

As the library is not yet deprecated and there are demos/projects still referencing the older library, the OTA library is still linked in the aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C repository.

It looks like there is active development at this library, but there was no new version released in the last 2 years?

The changes after the last release are essentially bug fixes, and there aren't any major feature additions as such.
